honestly, the time it would've taken them to climb the stairs and chitchat would have taken a while, unless she spent her time stuttering and asking dumb shit, bc Honestly Franz does seem kind enough to just stand there and wait
I’m lowkey annoyed the other prince for him to stand there because Franz was ready to leave.
same, but! he 1) seems like the type to like drama 2) seems like the type to have trouble properly explaining things, like how he tried to explain to Barth that mrs delulu is lives with the prince other than saying weird as riddles, so he could be trying to give Franz a chance to see that delulu is in love with him since at the ball he didn't believe it
Uh… I don’t give af about her pointless delusions?? Can’t we move on already??? And its absolutely unrealistic that he spent that much time with her outside just so the others could observe it. Ain’t no way she had anything worthwhile to say.
